Budget Car Rental Gisborne Airport

As others have stated, terrible customer service and charging you for stuff without informing you. I phoned in for an unknown $202 charge from them. The woman told me it was to fill up the car, which is fair enough. I said a heads up would be nice to which she sarcastically and quite snarkly replied: "Did you think you wouldn't need to pay for the fuel you used". Being the first time I used a car rental service I assumed the final fuel cost would be included in the price. Nobody told me and nowhere was this explained. I have no problem with paying for the fuel but would have liked to know the charge was incoming and didn't appreciate being treated like an idiot (even if I might have been one in that moment). Spend your money elsewhere.

Worst customer service. Almost $700 deducted from my bank account for a stone chip on windscreen, without informing me, despite taking excess reduction, since their zero excess option wasnt available online. Never booking it again. Ever!

Would give zero stars if I could. Worst Customer service experience I have ever had in New Zealand. No one at counter in airport despite arriving right as scheduled within office hours. We followed the instructions written on the sign on the counter to head to the office at their car lot outside. No one there. Tried phoning, no answer. Phoned the toll free number, still no joy. Waited around for 45 minutes. My husband went back to the desk inside the airport where he got told that we were late! The service person's boyfriend called him a c**t and wanted to assault him. Servicw person claimed she had been there all along and we never came up to the desk Both parties had been drinking. Avis and Budget is under the same umbrella, try to use somebody else if you can!
